I'm glad I could be useful, here are a couple links you might find interesting:

If you actually want to begin with any of the above, feel free to PM me, it took me a while to get it right, but now it is a lot easier.
About the water, I bought a Brita water bottle with a filter in it. It is not a "powerful" filter, it mostly helps with the taste, but there are pretty decent systems out there and they are not that expensive.

I tried to link international websites. I'm from Chile, so my usual links are in spanish; I haven't tried the specific products I linked, but their chilean counterpart and they have worked flawlessly.
Have a nice day!
Edit:
There are a couple subreddits you might want to visit.

Check it's sidebar, there are over 20 interesting ones.
The link takes care of opening the WetJet cartridge.
To make the solution, use a mixture of half water, half vinegar, and a few drops of Johnson's Baby Shampoo. Johnson's Baby Shampoo is the only soap additive that I've used to get a streak-free finish on my hardwood floors.
I just wash sort as I go. [Something like this might be useful to you] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000QJEW9K/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_1CCpxbZ74H64V)
If you have a dishwasher you can use it to wash your containers as long as you don't heat dry.
I assume you are in a more rural area that doesn't yet have single stream recycling? All of the automation you are talking about exist at Material Recovery Facilities that take in mixed recycling. Those machines are really big and expensive though.
Think that this is a way better alternative to disposable flossers.

Some rechargeable batteries are junk. Try some eneloops. There are other quality brands. But this branded started first with quality recheargables. They hold a charge a long time and are sold precharged.
The problem with not recharging batteries is they're seldom recycled and contain toxic metals that leak into groundwater under landfills. I do keep an unopened package of alkaline batteries just as backups until I can recharge the rechargeable kind in a pinch. But I try not to use them unless really needed. Then drop them off at an electronics store for them to turn over to a proper recycler.
The amount of energy to charge a battery is much less than the energy to produce a non-rechargeable battery. So charge away with a clear conscience.
Upcycling is fascinating in that it redefines how we relate to our waste (not quite the same as recycling). The first book that turned me onto the concept was Cradle to Cradle. The same authors more recently published The Upcycle. I'd recommend the first.
Also, shameless plug for /r/circular_economy, which deals with much of the same philosophy on waste and mimicking nature.
